Connecticut’s voter turnout dropped slightly in 2012 compared to 2008, but was still good enough for the seventh highest voter turnout in the nation. Nearly 74 percent of voters cast a ballot compared to 78.14 in 2008.
“Despite the challenges we faced following Hurricane Sandy, Connecticut voters came to the polls with a very strong turnout on Election Day,” said Secretary of State Denise Merrill.
There are 2.06 million registered voters in Connecticut, and 1.52 million cast a ballot.
The top ten states are as follows:
1. Minnesota 88.62 percent
2. Wisconsin 83.14 percent
3. New Hampshire 78.14 percent
